That's the dream.

It's easier to redesign the work to be robot-friendly than to deploy a humanoid robot and have it actually work.

I don't think it's the dream, I think it's the cynical market-driven logic.

Automation has been rolling out for a long while now, and most of the low-hanging fruit of things that can easily be redesigned in a cost-effective way has been dealt with already. The role of these robots is to address all of the stuff that would have been automated by now if they could have.
